It’s time to register for the 18th Annual Law Student Closing Argument Competition, which will be on Thursday, October 13 at the Cuyahoga County Courthouse. This competition is open to any upper-division law student, who will give a 15-minute closing argument in a civil case for the plaintiff, a catastrophically injured child. The argument is on damages only.

The top three students will receive scholarship awards of $750 for first place, $500 for second place, and $200 for third place. Akron Law has traditionally performed well at this competition–we took home first and third place last year, and in 2013 we swept all three places!
